10.23.98 - GnomeNEWS I apologize if I sounded curt the other week when responding to your frequently asked questions. But I think YOU have a lot of power to do things on your own... at least, I'd like to believe that every one of you subscribers is smarter than the average bear. That's one of the reasons I created the Lockergnome newsgroups. Not only can you post questions, but you can answer other questions, and interact (somewhat) with other Lockergnome subscribers. Yes, they're still alive and well, but they need your support in order to survive. If you don't post, neither will others. So, how do you get to the newsgroups, you ask? Simple: make sure you have a News Reader. Microsoft Internet News, Outlook Express, Netscape Communicator, Free Agent, or any other one will work. Trust me, anyone should be able to get to these groups (with the possible exception of those of you behind firewalls). The most important part is entering the correct server information: news.lockergnome.com -- that's it. That's our news server. Microsoft Internet News & Outlook Express users can click on this link: news.lockergnome.com. There are several groups which deal with different topics: games, the Internet, Windows 95 hardware/software, Windows 98 hardware/software, your general dislikes and likes, etc.. Plus, since this is a "private" server, we don't get attacked by spammers! Which is to say, most of the posts are "junk free." So what are you waiting for? Fire up your news reader and head on over there! GnomePROGRAM Regmon v3.62 [32k] W9x/NT4 FREE As always, the guys at Sysinternals.com have come up with another great (and small) utility to help the average and advanced user (that being said, make sure you visit the site for TONS more great downloads for 9x/NT). This one happens watch your system Registry--it displays information on system-wide registry accesses as they are occurring. You can also save logs into a text file for later viewing. If there ever was a utility to help watch what's going on in your Registry, Regmon is it. While this will probably benefit advanced users more than novice users, it's still great information to keep on file. The Registry is not to be toyed with unless you know what you're doing. This util, however, is only a VIEWER, so it will do "no" harm. [ DOWNLOAD 1 ] [ DOWNLOAD 2 ] [ VISIT SITE ]

GnomeCANDY eConsole v1.0b [235k] W9x/NT4 FREE I never thought I'd see something like this, but out of the blue, the author e-mails me with an NT4 tip and tells me: "Oh, by the way, I've made this small freeware program..." And I take a look at it, and even though this doesn't work as well in W9x as it does in NT4, I'm extremely impressed! It basically emulates a windowed command prompt, only you can add image backgrounds to it OR make the background transparent! That's so incredibly cool! He's even released the source code so any ambitious developers could take it to the "next" level. Regardless, you should at least check it out (works better in NT4). [ DOWNLOAD ] [ VISIT SITE ]
GnomeFAVORITE Hidden Mickeys I grew up watching Disney movies, but as a child, I missed a lot of "deeper" meanings and underlying context. That isn't to say that every Disney movie is totally deep, but at least most of the classics can be enjoyed again in adulthood. The next time you watch a Disney movie, try looking for a Hidden Mickey--a "Mickey Mouse" shaped object in a film, ride, attraction, or show. If you're not sure where to start looking, be sure to consult the most comprehensive Hidden Mickey site today. Did you know there's a Hidden Mickey in The Empire Strikes Back!? Wow! [ VISIT SITE ]
GnomeDESKTOP THEME: Earth View [531k] Ever wonder if someone somewhere is looking at our sun right now? I mean, from a different planet in a different galaxy. Of course, they probably wouldn't see the sun like we see the sun--they'd see it like a speck in the sky. And what if some big red thing was hurdling towards Earth at a great speed? Here's your chance to stand on that object. Or, if you just want to admire Earth from a different point of view, here's the best possible way to do it. Until civilians are allowed to go up into space (on a regular basis), this will have to suffice. [ DOWNLOAD ] [ VISIT SITE ]
GnomeTIP
To some people, frames are annoying. Of course, lousy
implementation of frames is particularly annoying to EVERYONE.
Have you been surfing around, only to find that a link on a web
page keeps you stuck within parent frames? Sure, you could "open"
the link in a new window, but what if you want to use the SAME
window? In IE4, you can drag & drop the link onto the Address Bar.
In IE3, you can drag & drop the link anywhere on the browser
window. Or, you could also drag & drop the link to your Desktop,
and then back again onto your Browser (or open up the shortcut by
double clicking it). It's a new frame of mind!
